Dhruv Vikram Addresses the Attention Around His Personal Life
Actor Dhruv Vikram has spoken about the challenges of dealing with intense public scrutiny after recent comments by actress Anupama Parameswaran led to renewed speculation about their personal lives.
The two actors were previously rumoured to have been in a relationship after working together on Bison Kaalamaadan. However, neither Dhruv nor Anupama has publicly confirmed that they were romantically involved.
The latest discussion began after Anupama spoke about a difficult past relationship in which she said she experienced narcissistic abuse and controlling behaviour. Although she did not identify the person involved, her comments prompted speculation online that she could have been referring to Dhruv.
Dhruv has now addressed the broader issue of personal scrutiny, acknowledging that the attention can have an impact while explaining how he has learned to deal with it.
‘Scrutiny Can Possibly Be Part of the Territory’
Speaking during an India Today roundtable, Dhruv reflected on what comes with choosing a career in the film industry.
“When you sign up for this line of work, you understand very early that scrutiny can possibly be part of the territory. As beautiful as the job is, it comes with many different sides. You learn to embrace all of them,” he said.
The actor admitted that he has not remained completely unaffected by the attention surrounding his personal life.
“To be honest, I cannot say it hasn't affected me,” Dhruv said.
He went on to explain that remaining grounded and understanding his own values has helped him cope with the scrutiny.
“Personally, it is important to anchor yourself in reality, know what you are, know what you stand for, and protect everyone you love fiercely. When you're aligned with the truth and know what anchors you, scrutiny can only go so far,” he added.
Dhruv did not directly identify or discuss the person referred to in Anupama’s comments. Instead, he spoke about the wider experience of being a public figure whose private life can become a subject of public discussion.
The Actor Says His Support System Matters
Dhruv also explained that he has gradually learned to rely on himself and concentrate on personal growth while managing the pressures that accompany his profession.
He said maintaining a private space with people he trusts has been important in helping him navigate public attention.
“You protect yourself in a bubble with the people you love as much as you can. I think the support that I have had has been very important to me,” he said.
The actor’s comments come at a time when his name has been repeatedly mentioned online in connection with speculation surrounding Anupama’s account of her past relationship.
However, Dhruv’s remarks do not confirm that he was the person Anupama was discussing. His comments instead focus on how he personally handles scrutiny and the importance of staying connected to reality.
What Anupama Parameswaran Revealed
Anupama’s comments came during an appearance on Dhanya Verma’s YouTube channel, where she spoke openly about her experience in a previous relationship.
The actress described the relationship as one in which she faced what she referred to as “narcissistic abuse.” She also discussed the controlling behaviour she said she experienced and explained that it had an effect on both her personal and professional life.
Anupama further spoke about restrictions she allegedly faced during that period.
Among the claims she made was that she was not permitted to promote her film Dragon.
The actress did not reveal the identity of her former partner during the conversation. Nevertheless, her remarks quickly generated speculation on social media because of her previously reported association with Dhruv Vikram.

Their Relationship Was Never Publicly Confirmed
Dhruv and Anupama were linked by rumours after their professional association with Bison Kaalamaadan. Their reported relationship became a subject of interest among fans and entertainment followers, but neither actor ever officially confirmed that they were dating.
That remains important in the context of Anupama’s recent comments.
While her account of the previous relationship led to online theories about the identity of her former partner, there has been no public confirmation from Anupama that she was referring to Dhruv.
Similarly, Dhruv has not stated that he was the person discussed by the actress.
Dhruv Focuses on Staying Grounded
Rather than responding directly to the online speculation, Dhruv has chosen to discuss the broader reality of living under constant public attention.
For the actor, maintaining perspective, understanding what he stands for and protecting the people close to him are key ways of dealing with scrutiny.
His comments also acknowledge that public attention can sometimes have a personal impact, despite the visibility being an expected part of working in the entertainment industry.
As discussion surrounding Anupama’s remarks continues, the statements available from both actors leave the central speculation unconfirmed. What Dhruv has made clear is that public scrutiny is something he has had to learn to navigate, while his support system and connection to those closest to him remain important parts of that process.
